I'm no expert but I also would guess raccoon or possum (either would have the strength to fight their way out of the trap.)
And +1 on antifreeze is a horrible idea, what if someones pet gets into it? Or a small child finds it and thinks it is lime cool aide?
FWIW many people think possums are beneficial, they mainly eat bugs and dead stuff.
